Abstract: The volatile compounds of six Sichuan bran vinegars from three different factories were isolated by headspace solid phase micro-extraction, and analyzed using GC-MS. Totally 75 aroma constituents were isolated and identified, and the main constituents were acids, esters, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, furanes, pyrazines, etc. Totally 12 volatile compounds were detected in all the six samples, of which the contributions to the overall aroma of bran vinegar were evaluated in terms of odor threshold and relative odor activity value (ROAV). The results showed that ethyl acetate, 2,3-butanedione, nonanal, acetic acid, decanal and benzaldehyde were the key aroma compounds of Sichuan bran vinegar. Also, furfural and 4-ethyl-2-methoxy-phenol contributed to the overall aroma of bran vinegar.

Key words: Sichuan bran vinegar, solid phase micro-extraction (SPME), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), volatile compounds, key aroma compounds
